Today we have Andrew Hubbard from Citizens Advice Bureau New Zealand (CABNZ) who will be answering your questions about your consumer rights.
A little bit about Andrew:
Dr Andrew Hubbard is deputy chief executive of Citizens Advice Bureau New Zealand (CAB) and loves working for the CAB so much that he’s been there for more than fifteen years.
Andrew believes in the difference people can make working together in the community and loves being able to support the work of the more than 2000 CAB volunteers across the motu. Andrew’s background is in policy and he’s been actively involved in consumer issues for the fifteen years he’s been at the CAB.
Andrew and the CAB team are ready to answer your questions about your consumer rights. This might be questions about when you can get a refunds, your rights when buying via Facebook or overseas, product delivery issues and what to do if a retailer won't sort a problem out for you.
Andrew is here live on Wednesday from 9.30am for your questions.

Let's not debate why times are tough and these kids need school lunches, let's brainstorm!
Share your favourite lunches from your school days or the go-to meals your kids love! Perhaps we can come up with a menu of crowd-pleasing school lunches...

I’m Natalie from Scratchpad Cattery, where Eli has come for his holidays for many years now.
Eli’s a sweet, gentle boy who enjoys being cozy indoors but also loves to be outside when the weather is nice. He’d be a wonderful companion, especially for someone living alone. He would be best suited to a child- and pet-free home (just Eli!).
He’s in good health for his age, and we’re hoping to find his new home soon. Call me if you'd like to meet this special fellow and maybe have him as your new forever bestie!

From trekking through Nepal and enduring the cold in Antarctica to immersing themselves in Aboriginal culture in the Australian Outback, their epic retirement proves that age is no barrier to discovery. Just as Sir Edmund Hillary pushed the limits of exploration, residents of his namesake village continue to chart their own extraordinary journeys.
“We’ll keep travelling for as long as we can,” says Rodnie.

I have an old digital camera my daughter would like to use (for reasons which are beyond my simple brain) but in order to charge it, I need a "Mini USB A/B" cable (pictured). Does anyone have one kicking about they can pass on? Cheers.
